pistol pete Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 well have been thinking of doing one of these for ages so had a spare hour the other night and a 7530 and fergie in stock. not finished yet but thought as i haven't posted for a while i would post it to see what you think. still needs steering wheel mudgaurds painted and cab tweaked. have a pma32 front hitch but don't know if i will fit it.

Kiwi6920 Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 looks good mate would look the muts with the hitch Quote
KIWINZ Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 a nice convo there mate just what we need a mid size jd for spraying and fertilising and maby if we get stuck for a cart tractor Quote
Tractorman810 Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 looks good pete, recon that pma front hitch will fit ok, although it may have been better before spraying so it could have any of the chassis ground off ,i have fitted one to a uh celtis chassis without any chassis work needed Quote
Fenside MF Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 looks really good pete I was thinking of doing one as a first attempt at a convo but was a bit sceptical that the 30 series bonnet would be too high and rear arches too wide but it definatley isn't and it looks spot on scale wise, are u happy with the mf style wheels? Quote
pistol pete Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 yep i think i will fit the front hitch the tractor isn't stuck togetheir yet so i will strip it down andfit the hitch. should have it finished this week before i go to agri tech. bought two of those hitches one for a model of my real 6820 at home. the hitches are so like the dagenhart hitch is is uncanny.

NewHolland2 Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Looking well Peter...... Will be another nice John Deere convo for your collection eh...... Quote
Johny mf Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 :o alreday looking good!! It has a lot off potention!! Quote
farmernick06 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 What a cracking idea well done mate Quote
fendt-man-matty Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 that looks soooo good, great start!! do u hav any more pics of your 7530 with the front linkage or how did u fit the front linkage to it??? Quote
pistol pete Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 The front linkage on the 7530 is glued on it. you have to do a bit of cutting and grinding to get it to fit. the 64 will also have front hitch fitted as well. will post a pic of both hitches tommorrow. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I REALLY like that! Will look so smart all finished! Quote
new holland 4 ever Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 nice tractor! just a little idea for it to look even better is to cut off that steering "knob" of the cabin and filling the hole. Quote
pistol pete Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 nice tractor! just a little idea for it to look even better is to cut off that steering "knob" of the cabin and filling the hole. Will be doing that its cab will be done just like its 75 big brother. but will probarly have a flash bar instead of double becons. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 No please don't put a flash bar on it, it will ruin in, flash bars give an industrial appearence which I personally hate, Fastrac's yes, 4cyl. JD's no! My opinion though!, double beacons will look the part! Quote
rich.new holland Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 she would look good on a set of cambridge rolls Quote
